A friend of mine recently moved into one of the new houses at the end of Statham road in Bidston and the whole area is being targetted by a number of youths.

In the last 10 weeks there's been at least 6 break-ins and a several examples of things being thrown at houses. Some of the locals who have been there longer have assured him that it's only a couple of families and that it should calm down but obviously he's not happy and it doesn't feel like that.

Anyone any ideas how this can be solved,
- getting the local counciler involved?
- find out who's the top policeman in the area and constantly call them?
- Getting it in the papers?

Any ideas would be gratefully received!

use a camera, video and stills, or get a cctv set up and get video evidence along with written/diary evidence both documented with times/dates mate, build up a file and take it to the council/housing association and the police...

As Jonah said, video them and document what they're doing and ASBO the b*stards

get the little tw*ts by their genitalia and throw them all in an incinerator... that's one thing i would like to see a video of lol

but yea, jonah basically nailed it in all seriousness

Nice one, cheers lads I'll pass it on!

maybe other witnesses statements or neighbours doin the same, gettin evidence as well !

Just sort it yourself... I know I shouldnt say that, but get ya mates together and give the little pricks a hiding to remember, this government has no intention of sorting out the criminals, our justice system is getting more and more pathetic every day, an ASBO is just seen as an award, a qualification by these scum, going to prison is seen like a grand expedition, and praised upon.

If the government wont get tough with these pricks, I think the public should and its only a matter of time before there are murders as a result of the general, hard working, decent public majority taking the law into their own hands!!

All the taking diaries crap and CCTV crap is nigh on useless, an ASBO isnt a deterrent, it just makes them worse, and the courts seems to regard CCTV, photos and diaries no higher then you making an accusation nowadays, because of the constraints on the legal system put in place by this criminal loving Labour government!!

get a big fuuck off dog

Haha yeah too big ass Rottys... problem solved

as the saying goes, the law is powerless to help you but can always prevent you. (the simpsons)

if only it was that easy matty, and we all know that the judicial*sp* system protects the criminal more than the victim, so by giving them a hiding himself he is lowering himself to their level, yeh it might be all they understand but he could wind up in trouble himself for protecting his own property ,or maybe even worse, just look at the trial on now, the 5 yobs up for mudering a father of 3 from warrington who approached the gang for damaging property... is it worth taking the law into your own hands if that could be the consequence ?? on occasions like these, i'd have to disagree.

I know what i say is wrong mate, just does my fookin head in so many ppl being terrorized/victimised by these scum and labour not giving a toss.

They shud stick Gordon Brown in an ASBO area for a week see if he likes it!

i'm not saying ur wrong matey, far from it, think they should be dealt with like that too, but just dont think its the way to deal with them, as they are the ones(the victims) who will end up being punished by the law...

yep i know what ye mean fella

with my views on this countries politics ill lead a revolt one day...


My Idol

throw him in the tower, OFF WITH HIS HEAD !!

You might find if you call the police or something they might come back even worse.

Difficult situation

A high powered sniper rifle and some land mines should sort the problem.

yeah good idea lad

Seems like they're at it again, just spoke to my mate and the new thing is lead of the porches and roofs - it's only little bits so it can hardly be worth it for them.

I wonder where they take it - this could be slowed right down if the scrap-metal dealers only took stuff of people who could show proper id and that id was taken!

If I was in that situation....and saw who did it..Id get my mates and sort it out ourselves..regardless of what happens to me.

Never do it by youself..cos it usually ends in tragedy, cos the cowardly scum all work as a group.

Soooo....

Get a group of mates, kick the sh*t out of the lil b*stards...break some noses...all in a quiet back alley somewhere. Dont tell the polie..they do nothing

Its kind of linked..but I was in a fight a while ago..cos some idiots kicked off on me and some mates....they threw the first punches...so we kicked the sh*t out of them. They didnt come back again. Thats Neston for ya...

Let me know when your going to start your revolt Matt and I for one will be right there with you.
When ever they ask me how do I like kids I say medium rare.
I hate the little b*stards and more so there parent who will always say they didn't know they were doing anything wrong?

simple....

Good smack with a bat to the hands should stop them returning

Gah been there done that and got the T-shirt. It's a really horrible feeling to be victimized by the local scum. The way we dealt with it was to set up a Community group to put pressure on the Local Police, Local councillors. It's not a quick fix I know... You could see if there are any active Community Groups in your area that can point you in the right direction (try Gautby Road Play and Community Centre, I think the Lady's name is Jean). If the attacks on your property and the harrassment are all reported to the Police then you can contact Victim Support. They sent a really nice man round who fitted a lovely CCTV Camera (for free!)which made us feel much safer. And lastly keep phoning the Police, I know it doesnt seem worth the hassle, but the more Crime Reports they have in the area the better. When the crime numbers and phone calls rack up they have to make your area a priority area which means that you get a much faster response time and Police arriving in force!!!

The simple truth is the more evidence you collect the more is done, the police on the whole are realy good its the judges that are not. I talk from experiance. We pay a great deal for the police use them make your area a high priority area call them and crimestoppers every time a yob farts. Make the figures bad for the area. You will see change.

Good advice i say

Ask around. Find out where they live. Try and gather as much information about them. They are bound to be up to a bit of dealing and fencing. Just exaggerate a bit
Then compile a file and some pics and videos and anonymously send them to the cheif constable mentioning stolen property and drug dealing etc. plus a mention of firearm you spotted them with.

This may result in a raid and will give them something to worry about.

It's dishonest but it has been known to work.

im with matt on this one, lets all just meet up and go batter em

too right mate!

people lets roll lol
